What's on TV? Wednesday, July 28, 1965

I don't know if The Today Show uses guest hosts anymore; if they do, they're probably one of the last shows to do so. But back in 1965, when Hugh Downs was the host, they did, and this week's guest hosts are most unusual: puppeteer Burr Tillstrom and the Kuklapolitan Players, featuring Kukla and Ollie. It's an inspired choice, given the popularity of the characters with adults as well as children. This isn't the first time we've seen puppets on one of the morning programs, either; remember Bil and Cora Baird's marionettes with Walter Cronkite on CBS's The Morning Show back in the 1950s. So the next time you think your newscasters are all puppets, you just might be right. This week's listings are from the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition.
